No I think you lot will be alright. Stay positive. 

It seems everybody in this forum agrees that the is vile and embarrassing behaviour at Bramall Lane by some Derby fans was unacceptable.
Of course a few won't really, but I highly doubt they will have the guts to say so in here.
A lot of people are growing to dislike us as much as Leeds were disliked in the 70s (and ever since tbf) and other clubs at various times like Millwall, Man U and Hope Valley Under-15s. Although the last one may be more personal tbf.
What Morris has been doing it entirely out of our control, but what those around us do, isn't.
For example, if a particular abusive chants start up, the majority could respond with something counter.
I don't mean Kumbaya, although that may very well work, or Imagine by John Lennon, although that too may work, but something like 'your're knobs and know you are etc'
Not that, clearly, that's lame, but something agreed on.
Plus, if fans en masse started filming the morons on their phones and the word had been put out that they'd be reporting to the club and/or Police it may help.
Obviously, I don't want anybody getting hurt, so be careful. And I'm happy to hold somebody's coat at the back if required.
Back in Cornwall that is.
We have to make these people thoroughly unwelcome because whereas they may not care when they're high or drunk, they will be after and/or before.
What they are doing is often illegal, and in all seriousness, it is up to us to do something about it if it's to change.
I almost want to adopt Millwalls chant of 'Nobody likes us and we don't care' but I'd be lying, I do care and I'd like Derby to be admired and respected rather than despised and mocked.

Can't believe people still listen to this garbage. 

Was only thinking about this after his interview yesterday afternoon. Has to be ditched. We should now all have far too much respect for him to even think about singing it. He has evolved. So should the fans. 

The fact he's willing to stick with us and fight makes him one of our own. Lesser characters would have walked. So far, he hasn't. He's sticking by the fans and his squad when times are tough.
If that doesnt make him one of us I dont know what does.

Yes it can’t be good when his family are there . maybe start booing when it starts I don’t no but it’s not nice 

I agree.  At Notts County, pre season, I was cringing.  The chants were in extremely poor taste and at least 3 different ones took up most of the second half.  At one point, I remember thinking that this sort of thing will push him away from the club and I wouldn’t have blamed him.  

Time to ditch the horrible song about our leader . I think you all  no which one .replace it with he’s one of our own he deserves that the way he is conducting himself in these grim times

I have said for a long time all clubs accepting parachute payments should have an immediate 12 point deduction to even things up a little bit 

Rooney has been paying for all away travel and accommodation out of his own pocket. He is a credit to our club. 

I wonder what the lowest ever points total for a Championship season is ?

Went past the ground at 5 past 4 and could only hear the Welsh voice choir.

Glad the window is closed now to be honest.
Would I like to have seen a couple more come in? Of course, but the battle with the EFL looks to rumble on so was never looking likely.
Didn't pay much attention yesterday, find the whole day quite nauseating now as media outlets drool over the big clubs with their seemingly bottomless pots of cash.
We know what we have now, CKR, Knight, Bielik and a fully fit Lawrence to come back in, time to push on the best we can and hope things are resolved before January. 
Need the players to dig deep and have the let's prove everyone wrong mentality, not we're done, relegated, season is over that I'm seeing online.

My itk Geordie mate has just informed me that we are signing Neymar. Neymar defenders, neymar midfielders and neymar strikers. 

Yeah I would also like to “thank Mel” but genuinely not sarcastically….. for funding the clubs deficit in income for the last 7 years to the tune of about 200 million when no one else has stepped forward with the cash. So genuinely thanks Mr Morris. 

In my opinion these fines are pointless and if the EFL really want to stop such behaviour then they should either ban all players involved for a few games or deduct points from the clubs as they say it's the clubs fault for not controlling their players. Either option would stand a better chance of success than a minimal fine. 

If we’re not gonna be out of embargo to be able to sign players before the window shuts we may aswell continue talks to get the smallest deduction possible. 

The comments about Dawes are spot on - hasn’t got a clue how to describe what’s going on in front of him and his ‘passion’ means he frequently forgets to explain what’s just happened. Coles on commentary is several levels better….

I want to know what is happening not what crap he thinks about the game or the club. It's not the Ed Dawes show but he thinks it is. He's boring with it too.

What a difference this fella makes to listening on the radio.
Finally, a commentary that provides a decent picture in your mind of where the ball is on the pitch, what the level of threat is at that moment, and doesn't leave you fearing every single moment your team isn't in possession.
Vast improvement on Ed Dawes, imo.

We aren’t dross?
